The dynamic environment presents challenges in forecasting costs with precision, potentially impacting financial performance. The company faces ongoing uncertainty related to tariffs, which could affect future costs and supply chain dynamics. Calix Inc (NYSE:CALX) acknowledges the inherent lumpiness in its business, particularly with large customer accounts, which can lead to variability in quarterly results. The company is not including potential BEAD funding in its growth forecasts due to uncertainty around timing and disbursement. Despite strong performance, Calix Inc (NYSE:CALX) operates in a competitive market with ongoing challenges from other broadband providers and technology shifts. Q: Can you provide insights into the macro spending environment and your customers' CapEx plans for 2025? A: Michael Weening, President and CEO, explained that customers are investing appropriately in capital for network builds and consumer demand. Calix's business model, which focuses on marketing analytics and consumer insights, helps broadband experience providers attract new subscribers and drive capital investment. The company is confident in its business model and has guided higher for Q2 due to strong demand. Q: What impact do tariffs have on your business, and how are you managing potential cost increases? A: Cory Sindelar, CFO, stated that tariffs have not impacted Q1 results, and the company has inventory to protect against immediate effects. Calix plans to pass any future tariff-related costs to customers without adding profit margins. The company has a strong supply chain team and a diversified manufacturing presence to minimize costs and ensure supply. Q: Do you expect sequential revenue growth throughout 2025, and what is your outlook for 2026? A: Cory Sindelar confirmed that Calix expects sequential revenue growth throughout 2025, even with demand pull-forwards from large customers. The company anticipates low double-digit growth for 2026, maintaining its growth trajectory. Q: How is Calix positioned to benefit from the DZS bankruptcy, and what opportunities do you see? A: Michael Weening expressed sympathy for customers affected by the DZS bankruptcy and emphasized Calix's focus on offering support and solutions to those in need.

Q: What is the status of BEAD funding, and how does it impact your growth projections? A: Michael Weening noted that BEAD funding is not included in Calix's growth projections due to ongoing uncertainties. The company expects BEAD to take longer to arrive but believes it will eventually provide a significant tailwind. Calix remains focused on its strong broadband business model, which drives demand independently of BEAD funding.

Calix Inc (NYSE:CALX) reported strong fourth-quarter revenue of $206 million, at the high end of their guidance range, representing a 2.6% sequential growth. The company achieved a record non-GAAP gross margin of 55.5% in the fourth quarter, driven by strong demand for their platform cloud and managed services. Calix Inc (NYSE:CALX) added 18 new DXP customers in the fourth quarter, with the majority being competitive takeaways, indicating successful market penetration. The company ended the year with a record cash and investments of $297 million, showcasing strong financial health. Calix Inc (NYSE:CALX) continues to see growth in their RPOs, which increased 10% sequentially and 34% year over year, reflecting strong future revenue potential. The company anticipates that gross margin improvement for 2025 will be at the lower end of their target financial model due to a mix shift towards subscriber systems. Calix Inc (NYSE:CALX) expects client margins to be a headwind to overall margins due to an increase in revenue from medium and large customers. There is uncertainty regarding the impact of government programs like BEAD, which could affect future growth and funding. The tax rate is expected to normalize at a higher level due to the expiration of some tax credits, potentially impacting net income. International growth is expected to remain consistent and not outpace domestic growth, limiting potential expansion opportunities abroad. Q: You had a large increase in RPO this quarter. Was this due to another large deal, and how do you see momentum continuing in 2025? A: Michael Weening, CEO: The increase was driven by a shift in mindset among customers who are embracing transformation to launch new managed services. We expect this momentum to continue as more customers adopt our platform. Cory Sindelar, CFO: The fourth quarter is typically strong as customers align contracts with their operating plans, and we expect this momentum to continue. Q: How is Calix focusing on monetizing the installed base of fiber-served homes and businesses amid BEAD concerns? A: Michael Weening, CEO: Our business model is built on monetizing subscribers, regardless of government funding. We help service providers differentiate in a commodity market and grow RPOs through incremental services. We are crossing the chasm into early adopters, as evidenced by our RPO growth. Q: Can you discuss the impact of international customers on your tax rate and growth expectations? A: Cory Sindelar, CFO: International growth will be consistent and not disproportionately higher than the U.S. We had some tax credits that have run off, leading to a higher normalized tax rate. The strength in international customers is expected to be steady, not significantly increasing. Q: What is driving the significant growth in RPOs, and how should we think about growth in 2025 and beyond? A: Michael Weening, CEO: Growth is driven by customers progressing from network operators to experience providers. Our customer success organization helps them mature through this journey. The growth is not tied to one specific product but rather a strategic transformation across our customer base. Q: How do you view the potential for growth with medium and large carriers, and what is the outlook for Verizon? A: Michael Weening, CEO: Verizon continues to invest in Calix technology at a consistent rate. We see opportunities with medium-sized carriers as they acknowledge market challenges and seek to differentiate. Our focus is on helping them transform their go-to-market strategies to win subscribers. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
